Economics, BA

The Bachelor of Arts is, in nature and purpose, a liberal arts program. It requires completion of the College’s language requirement but not the business core. Due to the relatively small number of fixed requirements, it provides students ample opportunities to pursue either a second major or a minor field outside of the business school (e.g., history, political science) and is especially recommended for graduate study in economics, law, and public administration. Because quantitative skills are crucial at the graduate level, the sequence for students planning graduate studies in economics should include additional courses in mathematics and statistics (e.g., Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra) with computer applications.
